Can&#39;t own guns, can&#39;t carry pocket knives, can&#39;t put hood scoops on their cars, have to wear big overpriced foam coolers on their heads, and now can&#39;t drive 16mph on a bicycle with a motor. <br /><br />What&#39;s the point of living when you are not allowed to live? <br /><br />Meanwhile I survived years of cruising around in a hopped-up moped that went 40mph and didn&#39;t have brakes that were capable of holding me still on a hill. Worst thing that ever happened to me was being chased around by a irate and likely drunk highschool gym teacher in a SUV because I drove though a empty football field. <br /><br /><br />This &#39;I am a rule follower&#39; safety nazi mentality needs to go before we all die from boredom and soccer mom exhaust. The goal in life is not to make the world safe for idiots. <br />naterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797026786719113133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-82562724331777901892017-04-12T12:33:01.388-04:002017-04-12T12:33:01.388-04:00You get a bigger fine for riding a bicycle without...You get a bigger fine for riding a bicycle without a helmet then operating an unregistered motor vehicle.
